REMARKABLE VIDEO: Grayson- GOP Health Care Plan ='s Don't Get Sick, or if you do, Die Quickly!
In a memorable 2009 speech on the House floor, Florida Representative Alan Grayson claimed that the Republican plan for healthcare involved two simple steps: don’t get sick and, if you do, die quickly.
Those controversial comments are proving scarily accurate. While dozens of Republican governors and/or state legislatures have blocked the expansion of Medicaid in their states let's look at the example of Massachusetts—which expanded access to health insurance, lowering the state’s mortality rate by 3 percent—as proof that “insuring the previously uninsured saves lives.”
Under the Affordable Care Act, the national rate of uninsured has dropped to the lowest point since Gallup began recording the figure. Blocking the implementation of Obamacare will cost lives.
